Mike has expressed interest in a charity aid gift - seeds and medical equipment for a poor community, so I'm clubbing together with my family to get that for him. I've asked him for a gardening book to help with our self-sufficient experiment next year, and I'll get a few bits and pieces for Mum, sister, niece. That's about it. We don't do big presents usually anyway, but this year we're pulling the reins in even further. We’re having a frugal Christmas.

I got gifts for four people (and a new Doctor Who book for me), and filled up the back of my little book with ideas. I spent about seventy bucks in total, but, like, thousands in my mind.
